Your Weapon Is the Last Resort: A Marine Raider on Readiness, Family & Freedom | American Legion 100
American Legion 100th Anniversary Special
Hosted by Corey Schonhorst & Cam Janssen with guest Keith Waldrop (Marine Raider, Co-Founder—Asymmetric Solutions)
What does real readiness look like—for your family, your community, and a free nation? In this American Legion centennial conversation, a 9/11-generation Marine Raider sits down with Corey and Cam to get practical about situational awareness, de-escalation, and why a weapon is always the last resort. It’s honest, grounded, and built on service.
What We Cover
Keith’s path: small-town Missouri → Force Recon → Marine Raiders → Asymmetric Solutions
The 9/11 generation: unity, service, and what it taught us about resilience
Shooting vs. fighting with a firearm—stress, environment, and responsibility
Home scenarios: why your goal isn’t to “clear the house,” it’s to barricade and protect what has a heartbeat
Public settings: reading behavior, de-escalation first, and understanding crowd dynamics
Travel safety: simple steps (like registering with State Dept. alerts) that most people skip
Female-specific self-defense and building true confidence (not fear)
Myths, movies, and “sprinkles of truth” in military storytelling
A candid detour: UFO chatter, curiosity, and critical thinking
Why It Matters—American Legion 100
For a century, the American Legion has stood for veterans, families, and freedom. Readiness isn’t paranoia—it’s stewardship. This episode honors that legacy with level-headed training principles that empower everyday Americans to protect what matters most.

“Don’t ‘clear the house’—consolidate your loved ones, barricade, call 911.”
“Awareness is greater than fear. Confidence comes from training and calm.”
